Description of problem

One day my SP2 booted into the UEFI / Bios screen and wouldn't boot into windows. When I made a bootable USB none of the repair options worked. Saying the system drive is locked. I have tried disabling the secure boot options. From command prompt it shows that i'm running commands from drive x (example X:\windows\system32) but when I run DISKPART and type list disk then it only shows the USB that i'm booting from. when I try run chkdsk X: /r /f /x then it says "The type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot lock the current drive. Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected"
